Abstract In 2014, an outbreak of zoonotic Nipah virus (NiV) occurred on Mindanao Island , the Philippines . We investigated the prevalence of NiV in Philippine bats . Because neutralizing antibodies were detected in insectivorous bats on Siargao Island , public health officials should consider that the distribution range of NiV is not limited to Mindanao Island.

The samples collected in two (2) wild bird species : Red Shank (Tringa totanus) and Arctic Warbler (Phylloscopus borealis), that tested positive for Notifiable Avian Influenza Subtype H5N1 were part of the regular wildlife disease surveillance activity being conducted by the wetland park. In response, additional samples were collected from wild birds, and all tested negative for Avian Influenza. Comprehensive surveillance and sample collection efforts in the surrounding domestic poultry population also confirmed no presence of Avian Influenza.
